tips to make Quiche

• Pre-bake (blind bake) the crust for 8–10 minutes if you want a crisper bottom.
• Use a mix of cheeses for more flavor.
• Squeeze extra moisture from cooked vegetables (like spinach) to avoid a soggy quiche.
• Do not overfill the crust; leave a little room for the egg to rise.
• Test doneness by gently shaking the dish—the center should be mostly set.

variation (if any)

• Meat: Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage.
• Cheese: Try Gruyère, feta, or goat cheese.
• Crustless: Skip the pie crust and bake as a frittata for fewer carbs.
• Herbs and spices: Add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or thyme for extra flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I freeze quiche?
A: Yes. Cool fully, wrap well, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

Q: Can I use milk instead of cream?
A: Yes. Milk works fine. Cream makes it richer and creamier.

Q: How do I know when the quiche is done?
A: The edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly but not liquid. It will firm as it cools.

Q: Can I make mini quiches?
A: Yes. Use muffin tins and bake for 15–20 minutes until set.

Q: Can I use frozen vegetables?
A: Yes, but thaw and drain them well so the quiche does not get watery.
